Chapter 24: Abandoned Mines
At the Quartermaster of Knight City, he used a recruitment ticket to recruit a level 4 Silver Lance Defender, and this dual-wielding spear unit would become Yuan Mu's own bodyguard. Yuan Mu's biggest fear in the valley plain was his own safety, if he was assassinated, the entire army would also collapse.
At the quartermaster's office, he also received a task to go to the territory of Count Locke to the west of the knight's city to help escort a group of war horses back to the knight's city. There are many bandits near Locke's Earldom, and the rewards are Knights' Favor, the purchase of mounts, and a rare mount.
With the support of the gambling shop owner, Yuan Mu didn't have to worry about gold coins for the time being. But the task still has to be done, Yuan Mu has been delayed for many days, and if he doesn't work hard, he will be overtaken by others, but with the choice of gold coins, there is a lot more room for choice.
Yuan Mu had already begun to think about how to return to the Ancestral Forest, but there was still something to do before that. There are more opportunities in the valley plains, and there are few ancestral forest resources but there is no competition, so it would be nice if you could control the Wind Fury Canyon and then enter and exit freely.
Yuan Mu was ready to return to the Ancestral Forest first to develop with all his might. After a period of time, when the accumulation of players in the valley plains reaches a certain level, there will definitely be a period of explosive strength. If he could not develop to a certain extent and participate before this period of time, Yuan Mu's advantage over the union would almost be gone.
The prison in Knight's City is closed to the public, and after asking about the situation at the Traveler's Camp, Yuan Mu came to a tavern called 'Silver Horn'. There are a lot of elite units in the tavern drinking, and there are two heroes.
The people at both Hero Traveler Camps know that their recruitment missions are difficult. One needs to kill an ogre chief in the Coldwave Wastelands, and the other, even more outrageous, needs to have a magic tower.
After picking a few in the tavern, Yuan Mu took on two tasks.
1. Haunted Mine Cave. There is a mine in a village called Black Iron Village in the west of Knight City, and there are undead creatures operating in it recently, which has affected the normal work of the mine and requires the elimination of these undead.
Black Iron Village is a level 1 village, and Yuan Mu discussed with the task publisher, and the reward was changed to two special carriages. If the undead creature is strong, add an extra reward.
2. Investigate the changes in the village. The quest was issued by a level 3 elite swordsman, also to the west of the knight's city, there is a village (without the heart of the city), the swordsman traveled back to the village and found that the village had changed a lot, to report the knight's city.
However, after the knight's inquiry, he didn't find anything, and he still felt that something was wrong, so he came to the tavern to post a mission, and he could go with him if he accepted the mission. The remuneration was not clearly stated, and Yuan Mu wondered if he could recruit him.
Dressed up and sent out, all the subordinates followed Yuan Mu, and the moonlight thieves thought that Yuan Mu was leaving the knight city.
Yuan Mu didn't worry about leaving the two little demon birds in the camp, that is, putting a big treasure chest here and waiting for someone to open it, he couldn't leave a robber to guard the camp.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Black Iron Village is on the edge of Knights' territory, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Knights. The Knights did not have any subordinate cities or villages in the Vale Plains, which was the result of the compromise between the other lords and the Knights.
Some villages belong to neither the knight city nor other lords, and they are managed by the city lords of these villages themselves, which can be regarded as small lords like Yuan Mu. However, it is not possible for the player to attack them directly, as they are protected by the Knights' City.
Maybe when the valley plains are in turmoil, these villages will be destroyed or occupied first, and Yuan Mu will also mark these villages well. Yuan Mu believes that with the more players in this group of 'God-Chosen Heroes' (after all, they are heroes), it may be very difficult for the Valley Plain to maintain the current situation.
Black Iron Village is a level 2 village, and the manager Old Thor is a level 4/1 human blacksmith hero who is biased towards combat and internal affairs. The strength is much worse than Wildpaw Village, because Wildpaw Village has the support of the surrounding bearman tribes, and it is about to be promoted to a level 3 city.
The special class of Black Iron Village is the Sovereign Level 2 Black Iron Armorer, which is relatively slow and has good defense. It can be equipped with a special carriage that is a specialty of Black Iron Village to improve mobility.
Yuan Mu wandered around the Black Iron Village and found a few small tasks related to the haunted mines. One of the quests was posted by an old coachman, whose son was an apprentice mage, who may have entered the mines, found his son, and could choose to recruit him to complete the quest.
"This is it." Old Thor brought Yuan Mu to the front of the mine, "There are not many troops in Heitie Village, and they have to send people to guard the safety of the mine. Haunted are some bifurcated abandoned mines, and Thor will lead the way for you. "Thor is the son of old Thor.
Yuan Mu saw that he had sent his sons to lead the way, and felt that there should be no danger, so he nodded and said, "Let's go." β
As soon as he entered the mine, Tausno complained, "I told us to change our mission, go underground again, and fight the undead." β
Yuan Mu had long thought of returning to the Ancestral Forest and letting Amelia beat him up first, and he didn't know if Amelia could beat him now. Now I can only say: "Then do you want to make a carriage while you are in a hurry?" When the special carriage arrives, I will send one to make a special car for you. β
"That's fine." Tausno nodded in satisfaction.
The mine forks in the road, and Thor leads them to an abandoned mine. "Ahead of me is an abandoned mine where the undead have appeared, and because they have not been used for a long time, many of the roads that were originally made of wooden planks may be dangerous and become traps. But rest assured, there is no possibility of the mine collapsing. β
This abandoned mine is some distance from the mining area being mined, and there is a gate at the entrance.
"Our mission is to search for the undead in the mines and destroy them, right?"
"Yes, if you can, find out why the undead are there, and there may be some other creatures in the mines."
Yuan Mu took out the exploration beads, and he thought of it when he took this task, otherwise he would not want to come underground.
First of all, I carefully found an abandoned wooden barricade with insight, and the Expedition Orb shone on it, and the barricade was marked with light, and it seems that the Expedition Orb is also useful for these naturally formed traps. After walking a short distance, the undead appeared.
Miner zombie, undead level 1 class, skill mining (weak). This is the original miner who died in the mine was polluted by the breath of death and transformed into an undead without intelligence.
There was no threat, destroy them and continue to move forward, and it didn't take long to encounter another batch of undead, and there was one more class.
Rotten Transporter, Undead Level 1 class, skill handling.
There was still no threat, Yuan Mu led his subordinates to continue to advance, and after a while, he encountered another batch.
"These undead are not strong, but the undead are too dense, this is not a cemetery."
"Ha, isn't that why we came to you to destroy the undead?" Thor's words flickered.
Yuan Mu kept an eye on it, but there was no danger for the time being, Yuan Mu still commanded to continue to move forward. As I went deeper into the abandoned mine, I saw more types of undead.
Stiff Guard, Undead Tier 1 class.
White bone operator, undead level 1 class.
Ghost recorder, level 2 class of the undead.
Undead Overseer, undead level 2 class.
This is simply a large view of the mining area, but the protagonist has become an undead.
Yuan Mu stopped, they had just eliminated the undead gathered in a 'warehouse'. Turning to Thor, he said, "There was a disaster here, didn't it?" β
"What are you asking for, you're just mercenaries." Thor was a little dissatisfied.
"Normally, the undead summoned by necromancers using spiritualism will not have so many kinds of undead creatures, so it should be affected by some kind of death-scented item or undead resurrection. If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter, then it's possible that the person using the resurrection technique is an acquaintance. β
"If you don't tell me about it, I'll give up this mission. And in order to make up for the loss of the mission that cannot be completed, I will report these things to the knights' city. "The Silver Horn Tavern is not a building for the inhabitants, but a building belonging to the Knights.
"You!" Thor looked at Yuan Mu angrily, but still gave in.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Something does happen here. Five years ago, when the mine was being mined, miners dug up a soul-sucking demon deep in the tunnel. The soul-sucking demon killed everyone in the mine at the time, and also attacked the Black Iron Village, and in the end, the Knights sent someone to destroy it. β
The Soul Sucker is a dark class, and an ordinary Spirit Sucker cannot have such a big impact on Black Iron Village, it should be a special unit.
Yuan Mu frowned and said, "But these are all undead units, I think you are still hiding something from me." β
"Everything else is clichΓ©. There are no lords in Black Iron Village, and my father is just a manager elected by everyone. In order to continue to be the city lord of Black Iron Village, he was also afraid that there would be other terrible creatures in this mining tunnel, so he sealed off this mining area and quickly ended this matter. β
"As for the undead, I don't know."
"Is that why we were invited? Barely acceptable. Then go ahead. β
Continuing to go deeper, this is already the end of the abandoned mine, and Yuan Mu has also picked up a lot of good quality ores, including the mage's favorite, Mithril. Except for the undead, Yuan Mu has not seen any other creatures, nor has he found any items that can resurrect these undead.
However, when searching to the bottom, a path to the underground world was discovered, and the entrance was supposed to be sealed, but it was destroyed again.
Yuan Mu stared at Thor: "You didn't mention this. β
Thor was also surprised: "How can there be a road to the underground here?" I don't know. β
Yuan Mu didn't look like he was pretending, but he had some difficulties in whether to go down or not. Suddenly, a man's voice came from underground, and when Thor heard this voice, his face changed, and he quickly ran into the underground passage.
Thor is also a level 3 elite unit, and Yuan Mu didn't have time to stop him this time. After thinking about it, if something happened to the son of the city lord of Black Iron Village, he would not be able to get his reward, so he commanded the team and said, "Chase it." β
Not long after chasing into the underground passage, he saw Thor stop in front, looked at a man opposite, and said in disbelief: "Murphy, why are you!" β
Murphy is the son of the old coachman, and he was originally a mage apprentice, but Yuan Mu now sees him as more than just a mage apprentice.
